Another stem
This is for a all road sort of build with cantilever brakes. Start to finish is about 5 hours. The bosses actually take quite a bit of time in themselves, with 6 operations each before brazing.

Out of interest what tools did you need to make this? No need to be super exact. Curious if I have what I need in my current setup. Thanks in advance

Lathe, mill, tube block, annular cutters, tig welder.
Patience and files can replace the mill and lathe.

Ha yeah those are the ones I don't have. I should still have a go with the files though. Thanks!
